Welcome to the Hatman Project
Hello. My name is Timothy M. Brown, Jr. and I am the site owner, administrator, and researcher for The Hat Man Project. The purpose of this site is to research the phenomenon that has come to be known as “The Hat Man.” Reports of The Hat Man and other shadow beings have been on the rise within the last several decades. It was due to my own experience with this being, as well as my awareness of other people’s sightings of The Hat Man that I decided to begin this research project.
I started this project in 2001, collecting what few stories I could find on the web at the time. Since that time, this site has received hundreds of stories from people all over the world. It has taken me the better part of 20 years to fully understand what this phenomenon is all about. And after years of research I have finally come a conclusion of who or what the Hatman is, why he is appearing now, why he is appearing to people all over the world, and what to do if you are (or have had) and encounter with him.
I am currently writing a book about the Hatman called The Hatman Revealed. In this book I plan to go into detail about the commonalities of the many hundreds of stories we’ve received over the years and what those commonalities reveal about this being and phenomenon. There will be no cost for this book, and I believe that this has become more of a mission of mine more than anything else. This information needs to get out there.
The aim of this website is to explore the stories of the many sightings that have been reported. This is the very first and only web site solely devoted to researching, collecting, and archiving information and stories relating to The Hat Man. As more stories are researched and collected they will be posted on this site regularly.
Have you seen the Hatman? If you or anyone you know has had this experience, we would love to hear from you and add your story to this site. If you have a sighting or an encounter you would like to tell, please post your story here to the right of this page. Once reviewed we will post it online and give others a chance to comment on it. We look forward to hearing from you. If you would like to reach out to us personally, you may do so by contacting us here.

The Hatman, aka Satan
Hi Tim, I've never written to a stranger like this before, but I feel it's very necessary. I tried to write on your website, but I don't think it worked. I'm a 46 yr old graduate student going for my Masters degree in Counseling. While doing research tonight, I stumbled upon this "Hat Man" topic and it took my breath away. Here is a bit of my story. Throughout my childhood & adolescent years, I had a re-occuring dream of a tall man wearing a black trenchcoat and brimmed hat standing in the corner of my room. It was too dark to see his face; his presence alone was terrifying. I
Chills And Goosebumps
First time i ever saw him was in 2005 i was walking to work at around 11pm it was a long street i had to walk as soon as i crossed the road to get to the sidewalk i needed to i walked underneath a street light an felt an eerie presence behind me an when i turned there he was opaque with a trench coat an fedora like hat didnt move an didnt disappear when i stared right at him i was terrified i ran all the rest of the way to work trying to stay away from dark
Darker Than Dark
I've only had one experience in my life with the Hat Man. I was about 7 years old, I used to share a bedroom with my parents and the door would always stay open. My mom would normally go to work around 3 or 4 am, and I'd obviously be asleep by then. She would put her alarm, and even though we slept in the same bedroom, her alarm never woke me up. I'm not a heavy sleeper, but I also don't wake up in the middle of the night. Ever. Unless of course I have a nightmare. One day,
A Really Bad Experience
I had a really bad experiance with the hatman I got punched in the face one night while sleeping and when I looked up I saw the hatman looking at me he dissapered and I never saw him again but im afraid he might show u again.... I found this really good e-book about the hatman and the shadow people it explained why we see them and how to get rid of them i hope it works for me http://www.amazon.com/The-Hatman-Shadow-People-ebook/dp/B00A0Q21UQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&;qid=1351995958&;sr=8-1&;keywords=the+hatman+and+the+shadow+people By Jack Patrick Kelly
The Watcher
I was researching last night and not sure I logged into your sight correctly and I hope it is still up and running. I call this entity The Watcher., and was so reluctant to voice what I saw, but once I did, many others came out as a witness of the same thing. I am not afraid of him, he does not give me the "hair raising" experience, For some reason I feel he is a guardian to tell us to "watch our step" Dont want to go into detail till I find out about your website.

The Hatman In Portugal
Hi Tim, My name is Daniel Pestana. I'm from Portugal. I just wanted to thank you for the website. I used to see this thing when I was a kid, from 4 to 20 years old. I never saw it again. I also saw other figures, such as the hooded figure and a frightening other figure with red glowing eyes that tried to attack me and my girlfriend (now ex-girlfriend) one night. It's such a relief to see I'm not the only one. So thank you. Kind regards, Daniel Pestana By Daniel Pestana
He Just Stood There Watching
I started having strange dreams around the age of 4-6 (I'm 25 now) involving this "Hat Man" which I kind of shrugged off for over a decade until telling my story to a girl who lived not too far from where I did as a kid who had a similar experience! My situation was rather strange, from what I can remember clearly: I would be dreaming normally and then something would happen inside my dream that would be a very clear signal that something bad was about to happen, and I immediately knew that I was dreaming, but could not
A Figure In The Smoke
I would like to withhold my real name. I have had a few paranormal experiences throughout the years and all have struck me to the core and I remember them fairly clear even today. I have had two experiences with the Hat Man or whatever that being is or if there are more, beings. First meeting: Friend and me were playing with toy pistols at my parents home, you know the kind you load gunpowder strips into to make mock gunfire sounds. They make a tiny amount of smoke. We decided to try and fill an hallway in our house
I Felt Threatened
I can't remember how old I was, 10 or younger for sure. I'm 30 now. Was sleeping in my childhood room. The foot of my bed faced the door to the hallway on the 2nd floor. The door was open. My room light was off, hallway light was on. Woke up in the middle of the night . In the doorway was an outline of a man, massive, filled pretty much the entire door frame. Most notable feature that I remember was that he was wearing a fedora / cowboy type hat. Although what I saw was no dark shadow,
